I am 63 and I'm happily ME! A retired music teacher, I sing, dance, play clarinet, volunteer, travel, exercise and I LOVE LIFE!!
We would like to thank you for supporting Karen Mackie in this year's competition. Your support helps us contribute to the National Breast Cancer Foundation who provides early detection, education, and support services to those affected by breast cancer.
Honestly, I love the fact that I am still here!! Sadly over the years I have had friends and even a boyfriend (in his 20's) who have passed away and so I have always cherished each day that I am here. Remember....."Old age is a privilege denied to many" I know it may sound cliche, but the wisdom and the confidence and the life experiences (both good and bad) that I have acquired over these years have shaped my world for the better.
How do you stay fabulous?Fabulous is a state of mind! And......everything is relative!!! Each and every day upon upon awakening, I say "Thank-You" I truly believe that we have a choice as to how we feel. I have had my share of health issues and injuries and not each day is a bed a roses but we always have choices. Back in grade 6 we were taught the DESIDERATA. Very powerful and wise words that to this day I refer to. FRIENDS, LAUGHTER, LOVE......I am grateful!
What would you do with the $40,000?That is a good question!!! In fact, this contest is already part way thru and I am just actually taking the time today to look at this and ponder all the good that this contest brings. Honestly I am not sure what I would do for sure, but i think some travelling and working on my singing and dancing and helping others (especially animals) would put that money to good use!
